How were McCarthys tactics justified?
They were not justified. Senator Joe McCartney branded many people communists who were not and ruined their lives. He was a disgrace to the USA and to the Senate. One of the worst elected officials in the history of our nation. Communism was a threat in the 1950s, but, that did not excuse McCarthy's witch hunts. He was a terrible person. Cruel and evil. The ends did not justify the means.
